I blame “The Ethical Slut” for a lot of the strange ideas people have around non-monogamy.

It gave people a whole bunch of rules and ideals for polyamory to replace their rules and ideals around monogamy. Rather than freedom, it’s just trading one dogma for another.

The Esther Perel approach of couples consciously co-creating their uniquely ideal relationship structure seems much healthier and applicable to broader society.

A self confessed sociopath involved in a an area kink/poly scene once described it to me as "mostly two women justifying their actions".

There are far better books out there now thankfully.
